Enjoying a wonderfully rural setting with open countryside views, Lodge Cottage is a particularly attractive period timber-framed Suffolk cottage which has been thoughtfully extended and improved over the years to create a well balanced and versatile family home, set within grounds approaching one third of an acre.

The accommodation is both generous and flexible, blending traditional character with modern living. At the heart of the home lies a well-appointed contemporary kitchen, which opens seamlessly into a spacious dining and sitting area. A striking central open fireplace with dual-aspect wood-burning stove serves both spaces, creating a warm and inviting focal point ideal for everyday family life and entertaining alike.

In addition, there is a further substantial living room, which opens directly into the conservatory. From here, uninterrupted views extend across the beautifully maintained gardens and onward over open countryside, offering a peaceful and ever-changing outlook throughout the seasons. The ground floor is completed by a spacious entrance hall, cloakroom and a practical utility room.

The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room, alongside a family bathroom serving the remaining bedrooms.

Outside, the gardens are a particular highlight, extending to approximately 0.33 acres. Predominantly laid to lawn with established beds and borders, the gardens enjoy a high degree of privacy and are perfectly positioned to take advantage of the surrounding rural views. A paved terrace, accessed from the conservatory, provides an ideal setting for outdoor dining and first-floor room.

A sweeping driveway offers parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a recently constructed double garage/workshop with Cart Lodge and log store, above which is a purpose-built first-floor room. It is understood this space offers excellent potential for ancillary or annexe-style accommodation, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

Lodge Cottage combines period charm, modern comfort and exceptional outdoor space, making it a rare opportunity within this sought-after Suffolk village setting.
